California

I don't know their names, but they are always helpful. I live here so am able to go to Muir Woods frequently, including hiking down into the Park.

Please appreciate these hard-working people!

We visited Yosemite in August and admired the beauty of the park, even after the fire and wind damage. All of the park workers were very helpful and suggested different places to see and hike. What an amazing job to have, to be able to hike the trails and to see all of the trees, rocks, rivers, falls and animals. I'm in awe of you. Thank you for keeping the park going and for being there for us,

From the time I was young and had children, have visited your park and many others. My grown children have continued to camp and visit parks also.

Thank you to all you rangers dedicated to preserving and protecting the best of our world. I believe you are overworked and underpaid and have the best job in the world. My family and I have spent our best times in Sierra and King's Canyon National Parks and other public lands where we grow as a family and members of a community. We raise our spirits and find peace and solitude in our souls in these natural settings. In the 5 decades I have been sharing parks with family you Rangers, or Ambassadors have always been the "Park People" whom we turn to for answers.

Thank you for all your efforts and hard work keeping these beautiful spaces open for your communities.

Denali, Channel Islands, Joshua Tree, Santa Monica Mts NRA, Cesar Chavez NM. Many Rangers made these visits memorable. Thank you for your service, knowledge, dedication, and friendly reception.

I consider Joshua Tree my 'home' park. I'm a frequent visitor and I want to thank you for endless patience and responsiveness when I have questions. And when I have a great day hiking or a longer backpacking trek I'm so grateful. I admire how well the trails are constructed and always read the information boards at trailheads. And a high-five for well-stocked clean restrooms too!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the hard work that you do to protect our natural treasures, allowing us all to visit and enjoy. Some of the best experiences and happiest memories of my life took place in National Parks, going back to when I was four or five years old, sitting around a campfire with my family, listening to a ranger talk. You're the absolute best, and I hope that being able to work in the parks makes your jobs feel worthwhile. Thank you!!! Steve

Congrats to you all for surviving a difficult year. Keep up the good work in your 'office with a view'.
